at £1700 its quite an expensive piece of kit (says the man who's eyeing up a £1100 lens)

I used to work with a Pentax 6x7. You will develop good musculature...
You'll need a tripod a lot more than you may think due that big mirror whacking up and down. The shutter speeds are restrictive compared with 35mm/digital SLRs but the results are excellent - provided you can afford the mortgage needed for the quality D&P! :wink:

Heres what im hoping for my next toy

I've just bought a Canon EOS350D with the Tamron 70-300mm lens, it's my first foray into the world of DSLR photography and I'm very excited about it!

I've also got a Fujifilm Finepix S5000 and a wee Finepix A300 compact.

mega jealous! however my photography skills are not up to expolioting such a piece of kit.....

as for the 67, I have a good manfrotto tripod to hold it steady

I eventually got out the door today for a few photo's with the new cam:-
Click for Large Size,
Duke Street:-

Dennistoun Rooftops:-

Looking towards the City Centre:-

And just messing with the settings:-

I know they ain't much but still have loads to learn and read the manual a few more times. :roll:

P.s, Thanks to the JohnR/Pgcc School of Photography for the tips. :wink:

And to Crusty Bint for Image Link Help.

Apologies for being a NooB! :oops:

SmartAlex...

That pic with the stars is really rather special. Very nice. All the best with that new camera.

I'm taking a friend for a photography session/lesson some time between xmas and new year... she's just purchased a Canon EOS 400D and hant got a clue about it. If you have a free afternoon/early evening (or possibly a morning), we can go for a basic features scout about.... somewhere like the secc/science centre is always good

I have an Advent 8.0 which runs down two Duracell batteries in half an hour.

Nostalgia has been tickling my shutterbutton of late and I am going to get myself the best SLR camera ever made, bar none. The Olympus OM1.

I had one many years ago and it was just beautiful. I lent it to a friend to take some wedding pics. The pics didn't work out and - for some reason I never quite understood - he took the opportunity to sell my Olympus in a pub. Along with all my lenses. And filters.

Now it's time to get a secondhand one and pick up where I left off.

The OM10 was better with the LED meter readout instead of the bouncing needle which only made sense to itself. I wouldnt have forgiven a friend for flogging my camera equipment like that... what a cheek.
